The project aimed to improve the availability of evidence-based migraine treatment by creating a fully digital and cost-effective digital headache clinic — a patient mobile application and a specialist dashboard connected to each other.
The main goal was to complement and improve previous developments — creating more secure and scalable authentication and identification options, increasing product quality, and onboarding first real-life healthcare service provider users.
- Previously developed solutions: complementation and improvement
- Higher security and better scalability
- Better authentication and identification options
- Increased quality of the product
- First real-life healthcare service providers as users

A simple, clinically reliable headache diary.
Headache App is a free, clinically validated headache diary that helps you record headache episodes quickly, spot patterns and prepare for your next appointment with clear data. Log a headache episode in under a minute — even when your head already hurts.
A simple diary. A reliable overview.
During a headache attack, you do not need a long questionnaire. Headache App is designed to capture what matters quickly and easily — pain intensity, location, symptoms, possible triggers and medication use.
Log an episode in under a minute
A short, clear form focuses on the essentials: start time, pain level, pain location, symptoms and medications taken.
Spot patterns
See when your headaches occur, which situations may be linked to them and how your medication use changes over time.
Keep medication use under control
Automatic alerts help you notice when pain medication use may be becoming too frequent.
Share a clear overview with your specialist
A monthly report helps your doctor or nurse understand your symptoms, headache patterns and medication use without relying on guesswork.
Clinical-grade diary supporting end-to-end workflow.
A certified medical device diary and a specialist dashboard, built as a connected system — so patient data flows directly into the clinical workflow, without manual steps or gaps. The diary also works as a standalone free tool, helping patients understand and track their own headaches independently.
A Class I medical device diary that captures structured, high-quality headache data at the point of experience — the foundation of every clinical decision downstream.
- Real-time attack timer with pain scale
- Medication logging & trigger identification
- Medication overuse early-warning algorithm
- Structured reports flowing directly to the clinical team
A specialist dashboard that brings the full patient picture into the clinical workflow — so the treatment team acts on evidence, not recollection, and remote care becomes the default.
- Real-time diary data across the full patient panel
- Episode frequency, medication & treatment trend charts
- Asynchronous messaging & automated alert management
- Designed to scale without adding clinical overhead
See the difference a diary makes.
